    Still plenty of time for Fury to pull out.

    I know it seems like I hate Fury, but I really don't. I just feel that, throughout his career, he has not faced and beaten enough top level fighters for me to gauge how good he really is. His big wins tend to be followed by low level ones. But the hype around him - for me - grew in a disproportionate way compared to his achievements. I consider Usyks wins at top level to be equal or greater than Fury's, all things considered. He is the more proven commodity, against a range of styles and fighters, even though he is smaller. And, at times, Fury has seemed unwilling to test himself against the best. He takes occasional, calculated risks. But he does have skills.
    My feeling is that there is a reason he avoided Usyk for as long as he could - He knows it is a difficult style matchup. And I also feel he has probably aged himself beyond his best years when he was taking part in less meaningful bouts. The Ngannou fight was dreadful, even though he was clearly unmotivated.
    My sense is that Usyk beats him, probably actually fairly comfortably. But I would give full props to the GK if he wins (even though that doesn't count out his dreadful behaviour as champion).

    I've always felt Fury's level of comp has been too low and handpicked to be able to deal with the jump in skills, iq, footwork, angles and workrate Uysk will bring to the table.

    My gut has always been that Fury is blowing hard by the championship rounds where Usyk is always super-active, where Usyk might even get a late TKO on accumulation and Fury being exhausted, but at worst making a UD very clear.

    If Fury manages to nullify Usyk - whether it's by jab or bodywork, I will be very impressed and give Tyson all the props, but i've not seen anything from him since before Wilder I that makes me think Usyk can't work around it - the quality boxing and skillsof Usyk vs Joshua compared to Wilder v Fury was night and day.

    I think this will be a stinker, Fury will jab grab and lean on Usyk and grind out a boring points victory.

    That guy is not a usyk fan
    He's an Aj who detests Fury

    Just letting you know. He doesn't give a stuff about Usyk winning,it is Fury losing which matters to him

    You hate me for only one reason, I speak my mind about your favorite boxer, before I was talking how Usyk will beat AJ, remember "too big, too strong" comments ?


    Dubois got dropped 3 times by much lesser opponent and he quit before, why don't you mention that aswell ?

    Usyk was weak in that fight and many people were saying that he got glass body. so it was bad fight for him(at least by peoples reaction)


    Your examples means nothing, it does not work that way, many other things happen before and after that. Usyk is older and slower than before, but you don't need to mention that. it don't suit your agenda.

    Fury will use dirty tactics and everyone will back him.

    Usyks best wins are at Cruiserweight,all of Fury’s fights are at Heavyweight,should Usyk pull off the win it will be a remarkable feat and mark him as the best of this era at both Cruiser and Heavyweight. Let’s see how it goes on fight night .

    Maybe you should have read my posts before commenting? Firstly i have always like Dubois and think he got skills. Secondly i was one of the first with threads about the Queensberry cheating in the Lerena fight. Not going to bring all of it, but the 3 KD in the first round, and that the fight was under WBA and they had 3 KD rules in place. Aka 3 KD in 1 round and the fight is done.
    Plenty of time i have mention this.

    Still that fight doesn't era all of Dubois qualities, and not just that, but that he is a young fighter, and he is hungry, and has solid skills.
    On top of that, he grows with every fight, as he is a young fighter + his preparation for Usyk going to be completely different than for Lerena.

    Same for Usyk. As you see Usyk in the Chisora fight and Usyk in the AJ fight.

    Usyk age, aging, speed, etc, we already have talk about that, and this is a fact, and the reason Fury dragged this fight for so long.

    Fury dirty tricks and tactics and that he will be backed by the official is also a known thing.

    And i still bet on Usyk to wipe the ring with him. We see who is going to be right or wrong.
    1 week left so all the talk is useless now.

    Usyk was defending his body, not his balls.

    I know you loathe Fury. But posting exaggerated crap like in the above paragraph makes your arguments against him look very weak.
    Fury is UNDEFEATED w/ one draw on his record that most think he won. He wasn't "schooled" by Francis. When J Frazier was coming up the rankings he met tough O Bonavena. The Argentinian decked Joe 2X but lost the decision. To say Oscar schooled Joe is about as ridiculous as what you posted. Nearly every HW champ has been KD and lost fights. As the old saying goes, Father Time is Undefeated.

    In my heart I'm leaning toward Usyk, but I cast my vote for Fury. I'd also like to see Fury-AJ and if Fury loses the chances of that happening drop a lot. Like others, I just hope the refs and judges appear fair.
